Chapter 226: The First Appearance of [National Destiny]

Yueya Bay is located due north of Luan County.

Yueya Bay is like a crescent moon. The lower tip is Luan County, and the upper tip is connected to a very famous local mountain range [Zihuan Mountain Range]. As for Lin Mu's target, Qinglong Village is located in the Zihuan Mountains.

The Zihuan Mountains are famous for producing purple flint, and many masons obtain their livelihood from the Zihuan Mountains. The Zihuan Mountains are a treasure land for masons in Kuaiji County.

Purple flint is a stone that only emits purple fire. Stonemasons mined it and then carved and processed it into [purple flint sculptures] that were very popular among the upper class. This was considered a regional specialty.

Purple fire stone sculpture can be regarded as a kind of landscape sculpture, and it can also be used for lighting. The purple light it emits is soft, not as warm as the sun, and not as cold as the moonlight.

Yueya Bay is an excellent beach. Many people settled here. Slowly, it developed into a large-scale market. On the seaside, many residents established small docks to facilitate fishing.

…

After most of the day's routine sailing, Lin Mu's fleet soon arrived at Yueya Bay, and it was already dark.

Lin Mu looked at Yue Ya Bay in the dark night. In the central market, the lights were like starlight, dotting Yue Ya Bay in the dark night, which was very gorgeous. In the noisy dock, some people were still busy at night, and the sound of laughter could be heard from time to time, creating a harmonious scene.

It seems that the people in Luan County led by Xu Zhao are still very peaceful and stable, and will not fall into war for the time being.

Leaving Yueya Bay, we continued sailing and soon arrived at the tip of the crescent moon. No one would stay here at night because it was close to the Zihuan Mountains. There were gradually more and more traces of wild beasts. The cries of apes and wolf howls made ordinary people It sounded horrifying.

"We've arrived at our destination. Let the soldiers start landing, clean up the surrounding beasts, and then station themselves at the mountain valley to the north." Lin Mu said, pointing to the dark mountain valley in the distance.

"Yes! Lord." Liu Feng received the order and immediately went down to arrange for the soldiers to disembark.

The Yeying Department has already explored the nearby terrain and passed it on to Lin Mu in detail. However, this is only verbal information, not a real [military map].

To the northwest of the valley, separated by several high mountains, is the location of Qinglong Village.

As soon as Lin Mu and the others got off the boat, a black shadow quickly approached Lin Mu. When the black shadow approached, Lin Mu was not surprised and said softly: "Tianjia Seventy-Eight, it's you who are here to respond!"

"Meet my lord! Yes, other members have made arrangements. But an unexpected situation just occurred, so I stopped by to report." Tianjia seventy-eight reported.

"What accident?" Lin Mu's expression was condensed.

"In addition to our army, there are others who are also eyeing this Qinglong Village, but there is no large-scale army, only a group of 60 people."

"Sixty people? They should be here to explore the road." Lin Mu was sure.

"Well, let's go investigate first and see who this group of people is?"

After explaining all the affairs, Lin Mu did not stay in the camp to rest. Instead, he took his hundred guards and followed Tianjia Seventy-Eight, preparing to go to Qinglong Village to investigate the Qinglong Village and visit the other group of people.

When Lin Mu just left the mountain valley, the system unexpectedly prompted:

"Ding!"

"——System prompt: Player Lin Mu, you have entered the [Nanzhao Kingdom Domain]. Since you are hostile to the Nanzhao Kingdom, your overall combat power has dropped by 20%."

"Ding!"

"——System prompts, player Lin Mu, because you have special attributes, [Nanzhao Kingdom Domain] is invalid for you."

kindness! ! !

[Nanzhao Kingdom Domain], what is this? The overall combat effectiveness dropped by 20%, which is too powerful.

The thought of the overall combat effectiveness of his soldiers being reduced by 20% was terrifying.

Lin Mu frowned, turned to Tianjia Seventy-eight beside him and asked in a solemn voice: "Tianjia Seventy-eight, when your Night Shadow Division was operating in Kuaiji County, did you encounter any physical changes, or did your strength decrease? "

"Body changes? Strength reduction?" Tianjia Seventy-Eight shook his head in confusion and denied that such a situation did not occur.

Lin Mu's voice attracted the attention of Cui Wu and other personal guards: "Lord, after we left the valley, our bodies changed. We felt a little heavier, and it seemed that our strength had dropped by 20%. I thought before that It’s my own problem, it turns out that my lord is also in this situation!”

The people of the Yeying Department did not encounter such a situation, but newcomers like Lin Mu would encounter this [Nanzhao Kingdom Domain]. This kind of situation had never been encountered by Lin Mu in his previous life.

Field, field! Another high-end term, Lin Mu felt that although his operation this time was 20% more difficult, the information he got might be unexpected.

Hearing Cui Wu's words, Lin Mu nodded and said: "It turns out that when Xu Zhao became king, he was very well prepared. He actually arranged a [Nanzhao Kingdom Domain] in Kuaiji County, weakening the enemy's combat power by 20%. If all It’s like this all over the country, what a big project it must be! Xu Zhao has such a lot of background.”

"The territory of Nanzhao Kingdom?" Tianjia Seventy-eight seemed to have thought of something and said uncertainly: "Master, our Yeying Department has detected an uncertain information, that is, it is on the main road east of Luan County and north of Yuyao County. The main roads, the western main road of Wushang County, the southern main road of Zhang'an County, the northern main road of Shanyin County, the western main road of Zhuji County, the east main road of Houguan County, etc., stand with a sculpture in the shape of a nine-foot dragon. The stone carvings on both sides of the main road are ordinary, but they have an indescribable feeling. "

"Are the mouths of those stone dragon carvings facing outside Kuaiji County?" Lin Mu's pupils shrank and he asked anxiously.

"Thinking back carefully, it is true!" Tianjia 78 recalled the intelligence and confirmed it. The Night Shadow Department has a lot of such uncertain intelligence, but it is all used as a work direction. After the truth is investigated in detail, it will be reported to Lin Mu, so Lin Mu doesn't know it.

"So it's this! This field is like this."

Lin Mu thought of a sentence he saw in the classics in the Xufu Town Library: "The human king determines the domain, establishes the foundation, and sets up the dragon stone, with the dragon mouth facing outward, the aura of warding off evil, and strengthens himself! Gather the luck of heaven and earth, take advantage of the momentum of flying, define the destiny of the kingdom, and then we can open up the territory and fight for the orthodoxy of the world!"

"The aura of warding off evil, the evil spirit, should be our enemies, and strengthening oneself, could it be that the overall combat power of the Qinglong Legion has increased by 20%? It should be like this." Lin Mu murmured.

Lin Mu had never encountered this situation in his previous life because he had always been on the side of the orthodox camp. The enemies he encountered were either bandits, the Yellow Turban Army, or even foreign races, so he had never encountered this realm of the country.

If he had joined the Yellow Turban camp in his previous life, he might have encountered the [Red Dragon Realm of the Han Dynasty], the realm of the 15-zhang Dragon Yuan Stone.

After some speculation, Lin Mu had no other worries except for some concerns about the attack on Qinglong Village later.

Even if Xu Zhao had the realm of the kingdom, he could not resist the great trend of the Han Dynasty. In fact, in Lin Mu's heart, he had never understood why Xu Zhao would establish himself as king. Even if he was provoked and informed by the Taiping Dao, he would not directly seek death against the dynasty that had not yet been completely in chaos. This was tantamount to an egg hitting a stone.

No matter what, as long as he could plunder the benefits of this rebellion, it would be fine.

The group continued on their way. In the mountains, the road was rugged and the march was relatively slow. After coming out of the valley and going around several high peaks, it was already the next morning when they reached a peak south of Qinglong Village.

If there is a logistical burden, it will take a day for the True Dragon Army to get here.

Lin Mu put his personal guards into the military talisman space, and only hid with Tianjia 78, and slowly moved to the vicinity of Qinglong Village.

This Qinglong Village is very different from the mountain village that Lin Mu had in mind. Ordinary military fortresses are built on the mountain and by the water, but this mountain village is directly cast inside the mountain. That is, the soldiers live in caves by digging holes in the mountain.

In fact, this Qinglong Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is 50% more difficult to capture than other ordinary Qinglong Villages! But Lin Mu still chose to attack here because of the dozens of black smoke coming out of this Qinglong Village.

The rising black smoke, filled with light water vapor, slowly rose into the air and then disappeared in the sea of ​​clouds. These black smokes symbolize that this is a casting base.

This mountain village is one of the most important logistics bases of the Qinglong Army and a weapons and equipment manufacturing base!

Most of the standard equipment of the Qinglong Army is produced here, and the value here is very high.

Marching and fighting is nothing more than plundering land, population, resources and other interests. The value here is worth Lin Mu's risk.

In addition, after Xu Zhao became king, for the safety of other important cities, most of the guards were mobilized from here, and the garrison soldiers here were reduced by 60%.

Originally, there were 300,000 elite Qinglong troops stationed here, but now there are only 120,000 ordinary elite troops stationed here, and the difficulty is much lower than before.

In the words of the players, it was the difficulty of the hell dungeon before, but now it is just the difficulty of the ordinary dungeon.

This Qinglong Village has two huge entrances and exits, located on the west and south sides of the mountain respectively. The exits are made of hard stone and are very heavy. Usually, these two doors will not be opened. They will only be opened when large-scale equipment or supplies are transported.

According to the exploration of the Night Shadow Department, this mountain should have been an iron mine. After being discovered by Xu Zhao, it was directly based on it to build a forging base to provide a steady supply of equipment and weapons for the Qinglong Army.

Lin Mu and Tianjia 78 slowly lurked near a cave entrance. This cave entrance was still emitting thick black smoke and water vapor, and it felt very hot and unbearable.

"Did your Night Shadow tribe really go in from here?" Lin Mu looked at the black smoke at the cave entrance and smiled bitterly.

"Yes, my lord! Although it is hot, as long as you endure it a little, it will pass quickly. These caves that emit black smoke are not guarded by anyone and are the safest."
